Warsong Gulch flag camping

Recommended Posts

Today playing Warsong Gulch at lvl 10-19 bracket I've encountered an outrageous exploit when the Alliance flag carrier named Eziconi was camping with the flag on top of the Alliance portal building. It lasted well over 30 min before he finally jumped down and made it end. There is a subtle way to get there by jumping, and this area is absolutely unreachable by anyone not knowing the way to get there. This bracket's regular players told me that it happened like 3rd time in a week. Obviously, this player had an incredible fun sitting over there for 30 min motionless and watching how mature players are struggling to put an end to this outrageous exploit using. If this really is an issue everyone aware of I would suggest an official announcement that this behavior will not be tolerated (will it?). Here is the screenshot depicting this proud kid who nailed the exploit:

How is this an exploit  ? Getting to that spot isn't anything special...

 

Maybe if you team worked together you might not have wasted 30mins ?

Okay so this spot was intended to be used that way and any player who know the basic rules of WSG should know how to deal with it? I never agree to your sentence. I see nothing legal here.

Safespotting is prohibited under all circumstances.

Using or exploiting errors in design, features, and/or bugs to gain access that is otherwise not available, to facilitate and/or grant you an advantage over other players.

Engaging players through various world terrain, such as roofs that is otherwise not accessible to gain an advantage.

"  This is the act of engaging in PvP combat while exploiting a position that cannot be reached with basic jumping "

 

This spot only takes one basic jump to get to, it's not an exploit. From the graveyard walk to edge of the fence and it takes one jump on the 3 posts they are pointing outwards. And as for line of sight, you can still hit that person from range so I don't see what the issue is.

Yes, I've been talking about the portal building behind the graveyard.

On the screenshots the flag carrier is finally peeking out, so he can be seen. However, most of the time he was hiding on the lower part of the roof just by the mountain, so he could not be seen from any angle. We took a while figuring out even where he is.

I've contacted an admin of official discord group, he suggested creating an entry in But Tracker so that the dev team could check it out. That's what I'm doing right now.
